The car is finished in Astral Silver Metallic (735U) and features chrome accent trim, US-spec lights and bumpers, yellow driving lamps, a sunroof, a power-adjustable passenger-side mirror, and a power antenna. The seller states that the sunroof does not open completely.
Silver 14″ Bundt wheels are mounted with 195/70 Michelin Defender tires that show 2018 date codes, and a full-size spare wheel and tire are stored beneath the trunk floor. The seller states that the brakes were serviced in 2020, at which time new shocks were installed.
The cabin features seating surfaces upholstered in blue MB-Tex with a matching dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include wood trim, automatic climate control, cruise control, a folding center armrest, a first-aid kit, and a Becker cassette stereo.
The factory steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 125-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer with an inset clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 200k miles.
The 3.0-liter OM617 turbodiesel inline-five was factory rated at 123 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Service under current ownership is said to have included overhauling the alternator and replacement of the water pump.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission which the seller states was rebuilt by European Exchange, Inc. of Little Ferry, New Jersey in 2020.
